April 15. 1643.

HIs Majesty doth acknowledge to have received a Paper from the Committee upon the tenth of April, expressing, That they had received Instructions, to declare unto His Majesty the desire of both Houses for His Majesties coming to His Parliament, which they had often exprest with full offers of security to His Royall Person, agreeable to their Duty and Allegiance; and that they know no cause why His Majesty might not return thither with honour and safety. But as the Commit∣tee had before acknowledged in a Paper of the sixth of April, not to have any power or Instructions to treat with His Majesty concerning His Return to His two Houses of Parliament, and as this Paper mentioned no Instructions to treat, but only to deliver that single Message concerning it, so His Majesty took it for granted, that if they had received any new power or Instructions in that point, they would have signified as much to Him, and therefore conceiving it in vain to discourse, and impossible to treat upon that, with those, who had no power to treat with Him, His Majesty addrest that Answer concerning that point to both Houses, of which His Majesty took notice to the Committee in a Paper of the seventh of April, and which was shewed to them before He sent it. And if both Houses will upon it but consent, to give His Majesty such security as will appear to all indifferent Persons to be agreeable to their Duty and Allegiance (those Tumults which drove Him from thence, and what followed those Tumults, being a most visible and sufficient reason why He cannot Return thither with His Honour and Safety, without more particular offers of security, then as yet they have ever made Him) all disputes about that point between them, will be soon ended, and his Majesty speedily return to them, and His whole Kingdom to their former Peace and Happynesse.
